Liked: I really liked staying at Mabel's house, she has a great cook called Belgize that live's upstairs and does breakfast and traditional Cuban dinner for Mabel's guests. The woman makes incredible dishes for NO money. The house is located a little outside but it takes 10 mins. with a bus so you get to see how the local lives which is really cool if you're travelling all the way to Cuba. They were very helpful and wonderful. My stay there could not have been better, i would reccomend them any day and am defenetly staying there myself if i return one day.

Disliked: Nada!.

Liked: We had the whole apartment to ourselves and we could order breakfast and dinner from the neighbour (very cheap). Mabel is such a friendly and helpful person. When we came back to Havana after staying at Mabel's a week earlier we didn't have a reservation and her apartment was booked out, she took us to a friend of hers where we could stay for the rest of our stay. We would highly recommend this place. The neighbours are nice and the little pub/store on the corner is a fun place to meet some locals. The apartment is also walking distance to Capitolio and Plaza Vieja.

Liked: Mabels house was the best casa we stayed in in Cuba. The facilities were equal if not better than the other casas we stayed in but what made it so great was Mabel herself. She was so helpful with every aspect of our stay and helped us hugely with accommodation. She sorted out places for us to stay inall the other cities we visited and found us a different place on Havana whenwe returned as she had a prior booking. She even sorted a taxi for us to the airport when we left even though we weren't staying at her house. It was a nice distance from the old town and cheap. I would recommend staying here. Fact!

Liked: Mabel is the most helpful person we encountered in our travels and really went the extra mile for us, helping us find out travel information and hooking us up with good casas in other places. Her English is excellent and she is a great person to talk to. The house is nice and cosy with good facilities.

Disliked: The only thing about the place that is less than ideal is the location, it's a bit of a trek to Habana Vieja or Verdano. Really no big deal though.

Liked: I really liked Mabel, she was very kind and helpful.

Disliked: nothing in particular, it's a bit far from the city center (30 min.) so we spent a lot of money on taxis... but its close to the bus station, and vedado, and the revolution square.... so it's not that bad.

Liked: Mabel's house is clean and quiet. She was incredibly kind and helpful and found us places to stay across Cuba. The breakfasts are cheap and a complete feast. The building was pretty, it may sound funny but I loved the metalwork over the bathroom window. She made us feel very welcome and accommodated. I would stay there again and recommend her to anyone looking for a clean, quiet and friendly place.

Disliked: Far away from old Habana, but I actually liked this because it was completely removed from the typical touristy areas.

Liked: Mabel is very friendly and helpful. Within a couple of days I felt like I had known her for ages. I stayed here a couple of times, and if she didn't have a free room she would take the time to find me one elsewhere. Her house is very good value, as cheap as anywhere I found in the country and the location is ideal, with everything you could need, and loads of sights within walking distance. I thoroughly recommend this casa.

Liked: Although I didnt actaully stay with Mabel, Mabel found me alternate accomodation and called in on me several times to make sure I was happy, safe and to offer her assistance which she went out of her way to do.Mabels is slightly out of town but has the advantage of being a short walk to bus station to get you anywhere and walking distance to Vevado.
